Soooooooooooo I love Fangirl....so having it manga/comic form is super cool.
Still not how I picture Levi but like.....I picture him like the guy from the youtube scene.
Ok so I love that it shows the progress of the manga like an Archive of Our Own heading.

A Complicated Kindness
A Complicated Kindness
by Miriam Toews
Pages: 253
Rating: 3 out of 5 stars
In this coming-of-age novel the author balances grief and hope in the witty voice of a teen whose family is falling apart.
Nomi tells the story of how her father and she spend their days together trying to piece together a life after her mother leaves them. To add to her and her father's sadness her older sister, then disappears. Has she left home or has something happened to her. Nomi and her father live in a small rural town founded by Mennonites on the cold, flat plains of Manitoba, Canada.
With dark humor, Nomi tries to make sense of her life as a 16-year-old taking care of her adult father while the rest of the community blame them for their own sadness. Despite everything, Nomi loves her family, all of them and tries to decide if she should stay or leave this oppressive town and if she leaves should she take dad with her?

Anne of Windy Poplars by L.M. Montgomery
....Did she omit the best parts...Anne come on. I live for romantic letters. This is how L.M. Montgomery is torturing me: Withholding Anne's romantic bits of her letters, and withholding Gilbert's letters. Curses.I love Anne. She still reminds me so much of myself. The whole tendency for people to just share things with me.
....He's chloroforming her....
WHY WOULD YOU SKIP THE TWO MONTHS. L.M. Montgomery torments and vexes me.
Yup Anne knew where THAT conversation with Terry was going.
Can someone please punch Hazel.
Elizabeth...You deserve every tomorrow.

Fruits Basket Another Book 2 by Natsuki Takaya
No spoilers for the OG Fruits Basket (well the manga has spoilers, but this review will not). My babies have babies and I have more feelings than all of them combined... well that's unrealistic, but I have a lot of feelings. It doesn't help that Fruits Basket has a reboot and I have feelings about the animation and the angst... *Nervous laughter that melts into crying*192 pages

Educated: A Memoir by Tara Westover
Educated: A Memoir by Tara Westover
Born to a survivalist family in the Idaho mountains, Tara had never set foot in a normal classroom or been to a doctor. The family spent their time preparing for the End of Days by working in their father's junkyard or stewing herbs with their mother, a midwife and healer. When an older brother decides to go to college, Tara can't help but become curious about the outside world. She taught herself enough to get the score necessary to gain a scholarship to BYU. Once in college, she begins to question her family's way of life, eventually questioning the meaning of family itself.
While I normally avoid mentioning my personal feelings toward a book in a post so that people can reach their own conclusions about whether or not they want to read the book, I cannot recommend this book enough. Tara's struggle to understand her family and her quest for self-invention is astonishing and beyond admirable. I've had many fiction books take me on an emotional journey, but I've never found a nonfiction book that resonates quite like this one.
